Reports)using XP in order to pass school reports out to staff for their data
to be inserted before being returned for publication

Version of Word?

Can you be more specific about what you mean to use the text box for, and how
you want it to be locked? Generally, it's only possible to lock the position of
something if it's in a protected area of a document. But a text box in a
protected document can't be typed into at all...

In a document? Hmmm...
On a page - yes. You may position it relative
to margin or page.
Right Mouse Click -> Format TextBox ->
Layout -> Advanced
